Luminous Planning

Perfection is our goal

There's
more to light than just light. Light is vivid, it changes colours and rooms. It
can have a calming or stimulating effect. It improves perception and
orientation. Regulatory standard and recommendations form the ideal foundation
for ideal light solution planning.

The
choice of suitable light solutions should be considered at the earliest
possible stage. Multiple light calculations and visualisations facilitate the final
decision. Illumination shall not dominate the room but harmonically integrate
into the overall architecture. Light calculations with different luminaires and
lamps provide a general overview of illuminance and light distribution.

Professional
light solution planning requires a profound expertise and long-term experience.
We would be glad to consult you on your specific project and generate a
detailed illumination concept.

Following we would like to introduce the main keys for high-quality illumination:

Illuminance

Illuminance – or the luminous flux on a surface area with
the unit 'lux' – is probably the most important measurement unit in lighting
technology.

Due to their diminishing visual abilities, elderly people
require more light for visual tasks than younger people. Even during the day,
areas with strong light-dark transition such as building entrances should be
brightly illuminated to support the human eye during adaption to the darker
environment when entering the building. Depending on the illumination's main
purpose (general room lighting, reading light, nursing, examination or
relaxation) the illuminance must be adapted.

The cylindrical
illuminance is the evaluation unit for the illumination level of vertical or
near-vertical areas on objects. Is is used as a scale for perceived brightness
in rooms, particularly for the brightness of faces. The ideal cylindrical
illuminance supports detection of faces, door handles, light switches and
colours, etc.

The colour
rendering capability determines how well a lamp can reproduce the light
spectrum. The human being can only see those colours present in the colour
spectrum of a light source and reflected by an object.
The colour reproduction index describes the colour rendering properties of
light sources. The index takes into consideration the individual test colours
and measures whether lamps produce a 'natural' (similar to sunlight) colour
spectrum or a limited spectrum.

An
important duty of the present. Rising energy costs, energy shortage and
environmental consciousness require a rather radical re-thinking. We show ways
to lower the energy consumption without having to compromise on illumination
comfort.

The
main goal of sustainable illumination is quality in a comprehensive manner. Sustainable
lighting is economically efficient, environmentally friendly and
resource-saving. Its light quality enhances the safety and promotes health in
hospitals, medical practices and retirement and nursing homes.

State-of-the-art
LED modules, glare control, electronic ballasts or smart light management
systems. These are the components incorporated into our energy efficient,
long-like luminaires. Of course without having to compromise on light quality.

In order to ensure maximum safety the Waldmann luminaires
have been design, manufactured and certified according to standard and
directive relevant for medical illumination applications. You can rest assured
that these luminaires will contribute to a safe environment in the medical
sector.
